Expert Tips

Eggs supply chromium, a mineral we need in small amounts. Preliminary research suggests that people with diabetes may need a bit more chromium than others do.

My Husband could not get over how good this was, he even printed it out to take to work to share with someone that is trying to diet. I used frozen spinach and broccoli and added yellow squash. I had to cover it to make the eggs cook on top (don't remember if it says to or not) My husband liked his better with rice, I preferred it as is. My 3yr old even liked it, and that says a lot coming from a kid that normally just wants pizza, hamburgers, and toaster strudels!
